So I noticed the displayed text fades in and out, and for XOSD-xft_affirmations that probably isn't what I want. I'd prefer to be able to have the window containing the text hide and show immediately without any fading effects, but I can't really find any information on how to do that. I guess I'll have to look at the differences between how it's done in XOSD versus XOSD_XFT.

I think what's happening is the XOSD_XFT window is being managed by the window manager, which adds all the effects. So maybe we can change the osd_create function to take some parameter(s) to enable or disable management by the window manager, depending on what behaviour is desired.
